Learn how their partnership with My Language Connection, contributed to their international expansion into 52 countries, as well as supporting in getting their first EU patient into clinical trials, far faster than standard industry timelines.
MLC helped us to completely streamline our internal processes, speeding up our communications and increasing efficiency, allowing us to get our first human patient to trials, in Europe, a lot faster than we had planned through their expedited translation service.
Requirements & Challenges
As a pioneer in Real-Time Continuous Glucose Management (CGM), Dexcom’s goal is to simplify and improve diabetes management for every possible person with diabetes. The Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System sends real-time glucose readings to users smartphones or watch, meaning that with a quick glance user can see their glucose levels – all without finger-sticks or scanning.
Dexcom asked MLC to help deploy marketing and user manual documentation for a variety of territories in a bid to expedite their entry-to-market timelines. Their Diabetes technology is now available in 52 countries worldwide.
